We're the Super Readers, and we're here to help you solve this banana mystery.
It's just bananas!
I mean - they were RIGHT THERE and now... they're not.
Oh my peas!
No, not peas - bananas!
How can I make banana bread without bananas?
Oh, what can I do?
Alpha Pig... to the rescue!
With my amazing alphabet tools I can find the letters in the word banana and get a banana for monkey.

Okay, the first letter in the word banana is 'b.'
Where's the 'b'?
KIDS: There!
There's the 'b.'
And where's the 'a'?
KIDS: There!
There's the 'a.'
Now we need an 'n'.
Where's the 'n'?

Hey!
We need another 'a.'
Where's another 'a'?
KIDS: There!
There's the 'a.'
Oh my chinny, chinny, chin, now we need another 'n.'

There's the 'n.'
Now we need... another 'a' - ?
Oh my, that's a lot of "a"'s and "n"'s.
There's the 'a.'
B-a-n-a-n-a.
Banana.
Lickety letters.
We found the letters in the word banana and now there's a banana for monkey.
Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up.
[HAPPY MONKEY SOUNDS] ONE scrumptious banana.
ONE banana?
How can I make banana bread for the whole jungle with just ONE banana?
Cue the sparkles!
Cue the music!
Princess Presto to the rescue!
I can help!
I can turn one banana into lots of bananas by adding the letter 's.'
Wands up!
Write a lowercase 'S' with me!
Like a little snake.
'S'.
B-a-n-a-n-a-s. Bananas.
Presto!
[EXCITED MONKEY SOUNDS] Wow!
[LAUGHS] That's enough bananas for the whole jungle.
And that means my jungle party is back on!
Par-tay!
[EXCITED MONKEY SOUNDS] ALL: Par-tay!
I'm gonna get my basket to collect the bananas - be right back!
Don't forget to look for Super Letters.

No... what?
My banana basket.
[GIGGLE] Now let's get picking!
What?!
How!?
Who??
My bananas are gone - again!
They were just HERE... [SAD MONKEY SOUNDS] No bananas.
No banana bread!
My party has gone kaput.
Split pea!
Where could the bananas be?
Don't worry, monkey.
We'll help you.
Let's look for a banana trail!
Ruff!
[SNIFFING] Looking for a trail, I'm looking for a trail... um...hi...one question... what is a trail?
Woofster... to the rescue!
With my doggie dictionary I can tell you what any word means!
Trail.
[RUFF!]
Trail means, a group of things that make a path.
Trail.
Woof!
[PANTING] Woof!
Woof!
Now we know what it means!
Woof-de-doo!
Give your tail a wag!
[PANTING] That trail idea sounds great!
Let's find a trail!
A-HA!
A trail!
Of banana peels.
And the trail leads to that tree!
Come on, we have to get to that tree to find my bananas!
Let's gooo-WHOA!
I'm okay!
Ha-ha!
Just slipped on the banana peel.
Happens all the time.
[MONKEY SOUNDS] Whoah again!
Uhhh - They're super slippery today.
Let me try-y-y-y-y-whoahhhh!
I'm OK.
This is terrible!
How can we get to the tree with this trail of banana peels in the way?
Wonder Red to the... rescue!
Whoah-h-h!
With my Wonder Words basket I can turn the trail of banana peels into something else so we won't slip and fall!
Whew!
Trail is an "ail" word.
I love -ail words!
It's time to rhyme!
♪ Trail, pail, mail.
♪ ♪ Wonderiffic, you're terrific!
♪ ♪ Snail, sail, nail.
♪ ♪ Wonderiffic, you're terrific!
Ail!
♪ We need another "-ail" word.
How about this word?

KIDS: /P/ /P/.
And this part says "ail".
P-ail.
What word is this?
KIDS: Pail!
Pail!
[MONKEY SOUNDS] Now I can get to the tree!
Let's roll!
[TWINKLE SOUND] You see Super Letters?

Now we need to put them into our Super Duper...
KIDS: Computer!
Two more Super Letters and then we'll get our Super Story Answer!
Super job, Super Readers!
A-HA!
I don't see my bananas.
Anywhere.
And I still don't know who took them!
No bananas.
No banana bread.
And no Jungle party.
[DRAMATIC CRYING] Parr-ty.
[CRYING] Don't worry, Monkey.
We'll figure out who took your bananas.
No.
We won't.
Just look at my story!
"The bananas are gone."
Unless... someone can help me find my bananas!
But who?
Who?
Who?
[OWL: Hoo-hooo!
Hoo!]
No, not 'who' like an owl.
WHO can help me?!
Super Why... to the rescue!
With the power to read, I can change this story and save the day!
Super Readers, let's change the word 'gone' in this sentence.
Zzzap!
Why Writer... write!
Super Readers, we need to help Monkey find the bananas.
Should the bananas be far, close or invisible?
Let's try close.
Where is the word "close?"
It starts with the letter 'c.'
KIDS: There!
There!
Zzzap!
Let's read our new sentence.
I still don't see the bananas.
You need to search.
Search?
Yeah, search!
Look around everywhere!
Okay!
I'm searching...
I'm searching some more... [GASP] Giraffe?!
Monkey?!
My bananas!!!
Giraffe, did YOU take my bananas?
Uh-huh.
Well - mystery solved!
Giraffe took my bananas!
[HAPPY MONKEY SOUNDS] Did changing the sentence help Monkey find out who took his bananas?
KIDS: Yes!
Yes!
Super job, Super Readers!
We changed the story and saved the day!
And solved the mystery!
♪ Giraffe took my bananas...Hey!
♪ ♪ Giraffe took my bananas...♪ Wait, Giraffe took my bananas?
Giraffe, these bananas are mine.
Well, of course they're yours.
They're from your banana tree.
Yes.
I know that.
SO WHY DID YOU TAKE THEM??
Well-well...
I was using them to make banana bread for your party.
I wanted it to be a surprise.
Oh.
I see.
That IS a surprise.
I wanted to make banana bread too!
That's funny!
